Belarus’ Sovereignty in Question: Assessing its de facto Sovereign Status in the Shadow of Russia by Arūnas Molis, Sara Pastorello

“…A theoretical framework deconstructs the concept of sovereignty into four crucial elements: authority, legitimacy, independence, and territoriality, which provide a structured assessment of the level of sovereignty in a state and serve as the basis for our analysis. To illustrate the application of our framework, we adopt a case study approach focused on Belarus. …”
